TDN’s The Hot List

'Rocky' & 'Road' Surge; Pomeroy EmergesY The top five on the TDN Second-Crop Cumulative Sire List has remain unchanged since the last time we checked in on the sophomores, but a big few weeks by Rockport Harbor (Unbridled's Song) and Pomeroy (Boundary) rearranged the lower half of the order. The former--a Darley resident--jumped from ninth to sixth, while Pomeroy, at Vinery Florida, cracked the list for the first time. He currently sits in 10th--more on him in a bit. Rockport Harbor has had five new maiden special weight winners since the last week in January, ranging from a 4 1/2-furlong dash at Charles Town to a two-turn grass test at Tampa Bay. Maybe the most impressive of the group was his three-year-old son Majestic Harbor, who drew off to a 6 1/4-length win at Fair Grounds last Saturday (video). A savvy $20,000 KEESEP yearling purchase, Majestic Harbor was making his third career start, but first around two turns. Two weeks earlier at Fair Grounds, Rockport Harbor's three-year-old daughter Harbor Fox also won a two-turn maiden special at Fair Grounds, taking her debut for Fox Hill Farm, who raced Rockport Harbor.

Hot List cont. Another sire who's enjoyed a strong few weeks is Pauls Mills' Bellamy Road (Concerto), currently ranked 13th. He now has four black-type winners, which puts him on even terms with Bernardini (A.P. Indy) and Aus- sie Rules (Danehill). His latest is Toby's Corner, the Maryland invader who rallied from last to win the $100,000 Whirlaway S. on a dreary afternoon at Aque- duct Feb. 5. The colt is now three-for-four and un- beaten routing. He aired by over 10 lengths in a Laurel maiden Nov. 25 and took an allowance there Jan. 12 (video). He earned a 103 BRIS Speed Figure for the win and a big 111 late-pace fig (for those that pay attention to such things). It will be interesting to see how he handles the jump into graded company, presuming that's on the agenda for the Diane Cotter homebred, trained by H. Graham Motion. Airdrie Stud's Badge of Silver (Silver Deputy) contin- ues to impress. He didn't lose a black-type winner when King Congie was DQ'd from first to third in the $100,000 Hallandale Beach S. at Gulfstream Feb. 6, as the West Point colorbearer had previously won the Tropical Park Derby, though the earnings difference between first and third that day was $50,000. Badge of Silver did, however, notch his first graded winner a week later when Silver Medallion won the GIII El Camino Real Derby at Golden Gate Feb. 12. Silver Me- dallion previously won the the grassy Eddie Logan S. at

Cont. p6 Real. Bill Morey trains the gelding.

Gulfstream Jan. 5. The race was her first beyond six furlongs. P 9 TDN HEADLINE NEWS • 2/18/11 • PAGE 6 of • thoroughbreddailynews.com

Hot List cont. Indeed it is, but for Pomeroys Pistol, at least, her graded win at seven furlongs is just what the geneticist ordered. Despite winning the 1 1/16-mile GIII Kentucky Cup Juvenile at two, Pomeroy was kept mainly sprint- ing the remainder of his career, and was especially adept at that distance. His biggest career tally came in the Coolmore colors in the seven-panel GI King's Bishop S. in 2004, a race he won in a blistering 1:20 4/5. At four, Pomeroy added the six-furlong GII A.G. Vanderbilt S. at the Spa for trainer Patrick Biancone. Coolmore opted to sell Pomeroy to David Hutson's Silverleaf Farm after that season, presumably as a stallion prospect. But Hutson opted to have chips removed from Pomeroy's ankle and returned him to training at five with Marty Wolfson. AI=ve long thought we retire our horses too young,@ Hutson said of the decision. "I felt Pomeroy still had a lot of running left in him.@ Hutson was right, and through an abbreviated three-race cam- paign at five, Pomeroy added a second Grade I going seven furlongs at Saratoga, this time in the GI Forego H. The victory came over another current freshman sire, Claiborne's War Front (Danzig). Pomeroy initially retired to stud to CloverLeaf Farms II near Ocala in 2007, but, when that operation closed its doors a year later, he made the move across town to Vinery. Pomeroy was a hit with breeders in his first season, covering 150 mares, then was visited by 99 mares in season two. But tough economic conditions, combined with a stallion's typical number slide in sea- sons three and four, meant Pomeroy would cover 50 and 53 mares in the last two years, respectively. Much of the competition he was facing for mares, in fact, emerged from his own shedrow, both from Congrats, as well as from the relocated D'wildcat (Forest Wild- cat), who arrived at Vinery on the strength of his first Ontario crop. "His problem, to a certain extent, combined with the economic situation, is that he lived in the shadow of Congrats," conceded Doyle. "Congrats was actually in the stall across from him, and a lot of times people would come to look at the stallions and just gravitate toward Congrats. He was just such an imposing figure. Pomeroy's a good-looking horse in his own right, though. He's a very strong-bodied horse. But it's almost a coincidence that, as soon as Congrats leaves, Pomeroy started getting runners." Indeed, Pomeroy is carving out a spot for himself on the Florida scene, and Doyle says he expects Pomeroy's book to swell once again in 2011, though not to that first-year, pre-recession figure. "I think he'll get 75, 100 no problem," said Doyle. "He's getting his fair share of lookers, plus the two horses who are run- ning right now [Positive Response and Pomeroys Pistol] have helped to no end."

Hot List cont. What hasn't helped, said Doyle, is the hardships caused by the struggling economy, which hit Florida's breeding industry particularly hard. Last year alone, there was a 23.9-percent drop in the number of mares bred in the Sunshine State. That followed a 24-percent plummet the previous year. Doyle said the local market has been trying to readjust. "A lot of the mares have been eliminated, and a lot of the breeders have been, as well," he said. "There are a lot fewer out there. It used to be where you could breed a cheaper mare to a cheaper stallion and bring the offspring over to the sale and make a few thousand dollars. But that's kind of gone away now." Having a promising young sire on your payroll always helps, and Doyle said Pomeroy is earning a reputation as a sire whom Florida breeders find confidence in. "You always heard from breed- ers, 'Well, if I don't sell him, I'll race him,' but it was some- thing, for a long time there, they never really had to do," Doyle said. "But with the way things are now, you're seeing a lot . He's the type where, if you are left with one you have to race, they feel quite comfortable racing a Pomeroy." One reason Pomeroy wound up in Florida and not Kentucky in the first place was that he was by Boundary, a son of Declan Doyle vinery.com Danzig, who proved a useful sort, but not an elite sire. Boundary did, however, turn up the brilliant Big Brown, who in 2008 won the GI Kentucky Derby and GI Preakness S. Big Brown and Pomeroy were clearly different types of horses, but did the former's exploits help Pomeroy? "I think he did," said Doyle. "I had people comment when he came here, saying it might be tough with a son of Boundary. Granted, it was near the end of the breeding season with Big Brown came on the scene, but I think it dis- pelled some of the thinking that Boundary wasn't a good thing. It hasn't been such a factor now, but even this morning, we had an open house and someone mentioned it. It still comes up in conversation." Pomeroy will stand the 2011 season for a fee of $5,000. -Lucas Marquardt

SANTA ANITA AWARDED TRADITIONAL OAK TREE DATES The California Horse Racing Board voted Thursday to award Santa Anita Park the autumn race dates traditionally reserved for the Oak Tree Rac- ing Association=s meeting. Held at the Arcadia oval from 1969-2009, the Oak Tree meet was relocated to Hollywood Park last season after the group=s lease with Santa Anita=s bankrupt owner Magna Entertainment (now MI Developments) was voided and Santa Anita=s main track underwent resurfacing. In a 6-0 vote, race dates from Sept. 28 to Nov. 6 were granted to Pacific Racing Association, a subsidiary of MI Developments. Track officials said at the meeting that they will make efforts to develop a financial agreement with not-for- profit Oak Tree in order to support various affiliated organizations within the sport, while maintaining the established Breeders= Cup prep races typically run dur- ing Oak Tree.
